Generally I would be soooo in, but I need to see how it works out with my job. I have to fly to LAS for a conference on Monday and I still have to do some prep work for that. Maybe I can join and go back on Saturday. I hope the eastern wind doesn't make too much tacking necessary.

I will let you know as soon as I know more.

Thanks so much for keeping me in the loop. I'm very much looking forward to meet you guys soon!!!

Chekia, when you go with me it's all fair winds and following seas. You should know that from my last trip.

Miami AI, The bugs will probably come out to play at night so there will be plenty of time ti "prepare" inside the tent at night. So forget work or just bring the books and prepare on the trip. Florida camping season is coming to an end.

Miami AI. Not sure if we are gonna get out to the Everglades but we are planning to take a road trip, probably not camping to the trailerable sailboat meeting in Cedar Key the first weekend of May. Chekika has the details.

There's no season--it just gets too hot, humid, and buggy. Doesn't mean you can't kayak during the day and still enjoy the beautiful sights and sunsets from an air conditioned hotel room. Us old guys gotta have our creature comforts.

First, I cannot go up to Cedar Key this yearâ€”turns out I have some relatives coming to town and have to do some entertaining, fortunately, it will include tarpon fishing.

Iâ€™ve been to Cedar Key a couple times for the West Coast Trailer Sailing Squadron (WCTSS) gatheringâ€”it is truly a gathering because there is no schedule of anything. People just start showing up on the first Fri-Sat of May and leave on Sunday (This year it is May 2-3). The â€œorganizerâ€
